Tried their Halal menu today. The lamb was outstanding. The squid and octopus equally delicious. Will be returning very soon. The service also very attentive and friendly. We had an excellent meal, with some Peruvian donuts to finish the meal.
Chakana Birmingham offers great value for money with flavourful dishes and friendly, attentive service. The menu has some standout items, though I felt the food presentation could be varied as some dishes looked a bit similar in style. The interior is pleasant but could benefit from a more subtle and refined touch to elevate the dining experience. Overall, a good spot for fine dining at a good price.
Had a family Sunday dinner here! After having had a wonderful holiday in Peru earlier in the year I was hoping to re-live the experience. It didn't disappoint in fact the food here was if anything better than in Peru! Absolutely delicious as were the cocktails. In addition to the taste the starters, mains and desserts were all really well presented Highly recommend! (but OMG the doughnuts were to die for, I had full on food envy!) We are going back for the taster menu.
Had an amazing meal here. We had the tasting menu and as someone who doesn’t eat seafood, they were so accommodating and let me swap out the seafood dishes for the veggie options. I couldn’t fault a single one of the dishes, and the service was impeccable. Would definitely come back again! And I highly recommend the purple corn sandwichito - 10/10!!
Excellent dinner here last night. The food is bright, has amazing flavours and is delicious. The snacks have stunning presentation and the taste matches it! Starters and mains were equally visually appealing and full of flavour and texture. Absolutely delicious. Service was friendly, personable and efficient - in other words, excellent. We really enjoyed our visit and will be back.
Fantastic food! Full of flavours and colour. A good selection of dishes and the staff is very helpful and friendly! The cocktails are creative and fancy looking. The restaurant is very different from what you’ll find in UK in general and even the food combinations are different from what I’ve seen in other restaurants. Absolutely would recommend!
My wife took me out for my Birthday and we had the tasting menu. We were greeted immediately when we walked in. Our booking was for 6pm so it was not busy yet. The food was great and would definitely recommend the tasting menu, it will fill you up. The staff were great and explained what each dish was when it came out. Cocktails were really good and I also tried the Peruvian beer (dark version) which was surprisingly good, think Guinness but not as bitter, would have been nicer if it was colder, so if you order this make sure it is chilled well. We are definitely going back to try the menu, 100% recommend!!!!
Fresh, extremely flavourful food and excellent service. My wife and I have visited a few times in the past year and taken friends here. The menu had different mains but each were equally amazing. The staff are also very attentive and friendly. Overall an outstanding experience. One of our favourite restaurant in the area and we can’t wait to return!
Had a ball of a time here! With goodness knows how many vivid if not bordering on garish plates of delicate fish and succulent meats, Chakana really knows how to wow. The vegetarian options are a bit less wonderful, but otherwise the menu is brimming with rich, sumptuous and visually dazzling choices. My friends and I quickly found ourselves ordering more and more food despite clearly having enough, including a whole second round of desserts because they were just that good. The atmosphere was warm and bustling, yet pleasant and not too loud, and the staff were both friendly and knowledgeable. It's not the cheapest restaurant, but totally worth a visit - just try not to get as carried away as we did!
This restaurant is a must visit. The food has no equal in Birmingham (surely no other Peruvian here?) and the service is professional but relaxed and friendly. We were so well looked after. From our cocktail aperitifs to the selection of deserts, our meal was a delight. A riot of bright colours and beautiful presentation which was backed up by interesting and surprising flavours. This is fine dining and exciting modern cuisine. There is almost certainly something on the menu you won't have tried before. Throughout the meal we were always well attended and any requests were more than satisfied. All the food was very well prepared and presented. You would be very happy to celebrate any special occasion here and know that you will be well catered for. The stylish decor adds to the atmosphere although despite plenty of room around the tables, it was a bit noisy when full.
